The recent report of the National Crime Research Centre on mapping cannabis trafficking in the country has unveiled new ways of using the substance besides smoking.
The report highlights other ways including cannabis-baked weed confectionaries such as cookies, samosas, cakes and biscuits.
Users have also been using cannabis as tea leaves, processed into weed juice, and laced on homemade sweets and chocolates.
Another way to abuse the substance is by extracting cannabis oil.
“It is also pounded into food seasonings and laced with shisha tobacco and other hard drugs in some restaurants and clubs,” the report states.
The report, 'Mapping Cannabis Trafficking in Kenya' by Vincent Odhiambo Opondo warns that the grave risk with emerging weed-laced products is that it is much harder to identify cannabis concealed in legitimate products.
